Transformers Movie to Feature an Apple iPod Character?

I truly hope he meant to say Frenzy... Well, either that or he hasn't a clue what film he's been shooting for.

I was thinking Booster X10 (Laserbeak), but it couldn't be 12-inches tall could it?

Be interesting to see what it actually is.

...or he hasn't been updated on the new design for frenzy?

He's most likely talking about Frenzy but hasn't seen the renders yet.

I'm thinking it is Frenzy, because from what we saw in the Hidden TV spot, the boombox he transforms into looks to be about a foot long. Why he said iPod I don't know...

That booster x10 toy isnt an MP3 player just so you know. It's supposed to resemble a listening device thats why the name is "booster x10"

It boosts the sound level times 10. And Laserbeak was a surveilance device.

Possible spoiler in white

Also in the "Jazz doesnt die thread" the guy that was spouting off spoilers left and right did mention an ipod in a target store that gets zapped by the allspark so that could be what he is referring to, not just frenzy although the 12 inches is makign it difficult to know for sure.

It might also be due to America believing that 'ipod' is synonymous with 'digital music player.'

So Ipod is confirmed to be a buddy of the xbox360.

...and other populair objects that could be quite funny.

Ack! I hope not. That thing looked horrible!

Winner.

My Samsung is lightyears ahead, and much cheaper.

Let's hope there is no iPod TF. That would just be gayness.

Seriously, I think that's what he meant. We're just ignorant like that.

With everyone who thinks he means Frenzy. He probably just doesn't know what a boombox is since he can afford IPods and shit.

I hope Hasbro gets together with Apple and makes a transforming iPod. I don't care for iPods, but if they to make 1 that transforms, I'd get it.

To be honest he probably did mean an IPod. Anyone who knows what happens near the end of the movie knows what I speak of. And a regular Ipod probably could unfold into a robot that would be about a foot tall. Frenzy on the other hand is like 3 feet tall.

I think it's Frenzy, cute, cuddlely, and deadly, awww.

I thought they changed the script drastically...lol

I'm sure they tweaked a couple things. But anyone who believed there was an entire overhaul would be fooling themselves.

It's Frenzy's head.

And this is not a speculation. I had some free time on my hands at the bookstore this evening. The junior novelization is out. One thing lead to another...

I don't know everything, but I know a lot.

Im guessing, that if he has not confused a (relatively) huge boombox for an iPod, we can blame the Allspark for animating the iPod.

You never know. Back befor we knew a hole lot about the movie people were saying that there was an ipod and xbox 360 transformer in the movie. maybe there are objectformers in the film.

Thanks, you said it for me.

i did this for TFWIRe a long while ago:

Cool drawings!

When the character Sam (played by Shia) has the Allspark, I'll bet that he brings these everyday items (Ipod, XBox 360, etc.) to life. First accidently, then he'll have some fun pointing it at everything. Josh could be right that an actual Transformer will be indeed an Ipod.

IMO just a guess. I never read the script.

With the rest of what they've done I say why the hell not. I think it would be kinda funny to se a death dealing ipod. After all it can't get any worse, can it?

Seeing as how actors have to pretend they are interacting with digital characters in movies that rely heavily on CGI, they could have just told him that's what was in a given scene with an actor. By the time they get a scene filmed and to the company doing CGI things can change.

On a lighter note, I never really gave it much thought but they can tell actors in CGI movies that they are interacting with whatever, then put them in really compromising situations in post. I think it would be funny to see that, kind of like the Colbert green screen thing.

I'm sure he's referring to Frenzy, givin the dimensions, and the way people refer to just about any music player as an "iPod" nowadays (pisses me off, cause I think iPods and Apple both suck).

There's apparently a scene that has several devices that turn into Transformers when they are near the AllSpark. We reported the news about an XBox transforming along with some other items back on June 11th, 2006:

One Word

Minicons

i havnt read every post soo someone may have said it.
if you've read the script, you would know about this.

SPOILERS!!

this guy has an ipod. an agent takes the ipod and puts it in a cage. there is tube coming from the allspark. glowing energy comes through the tube and transforms the ipod.

thats what the ipod tansformer is.

This must be where the Real Gear figures come in!

noo i dont think so cuz its only a breif thing in the movie. they may be in TF2, but i doubt they will in this one. we'll just have to wait and see i guess.

Arent the RealGear guy gonna be in this somewhere, it's probably that misnamed LaserBeak!?!

i really dont think the realgear are in this one. TF1 i think just introduces the idea, and involves the humans more. they may appear in the second one along with many other transformers...hopefully.

hey, they might just have soundwave in the movie and keep him true to his old form! There was a huge upset last year that he was not in the movie! Plus an actual Soundwave MP3 player is coming out in JULY, so maybe it was all a set up from the start! Movies always need a surprise. Soundwave would be the best surprise!
